Plant development occurs as an interplay of signalling, growth and environmental cues, becoming a highly dynamic and complex system. To disentangle such complexity and decipher the underlying principles of plant developmental processes, we focus on studying the regulatory dynamics of developing plant cells and tissues in a quantitative manner, combining mathematical modelling, confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis. In this talk I will describe our efforts in understanding how the epidermis of Arabidopsis Thaliana plant gets patterned by a mixture of cell types. Also, I will discuss how studying the dynamics of gene regulatory networks can help understanding plant developmental transitions such as seed germination and the floral transition in Arabidopsis.
